Chapter 505 - Mo Xuetongs Guesses and Doubts (2/2)
Now she asked people to block her halfway, saying that she was not in good health. She did not even drink a cup of tea!
What was this? As a concubine, who married into the manor, she didn’t receive the wife’s tea; it meant that she hadn’t been accepted by the wife.
Seeing she was really annoying, the nanny looked outside and lowered her voice to comfort her, “Concubine He, don’t worry. Her Highness said that as long as you have entered the manor, there are many chances for you to get close to His Highness. Her Lady must be afraid that you will get close to His Highness and capture his heart, so she deliberately treated you like this. She will not dare to treat you like that again when His Highness thinks of you.”
He Yufen only felt that she could not live up with it. She held the handkerchief and stood up, saying with hatred, “Nanny, does His Highness live in the Jinwei Pavilion? How about I go there to see him directly?” She heard that Mo Xuetong and King Xuan had not been getting along lately, and one of them lived in the central yard, the other in the Jinwei Pavilion. They weren’t inseparable like they used to be, and this was her chance.
“No, you can’t do it,” Nanny said to stop her, and persuaded with a straight face. “If you dare to see His Highness directly, Her Lady has the right to dispose of you. It’s unreasonable for a concubine to do such a thing. Her Lady is angry because of your arrival. If you do something out of the line, Her Lady will not treat you lightly. Maybe she will say something evil of you in the face of His Highness, saying that you are unwomanly, and do something like this on the first day.”
“It seems that I can’t do anything, then what should I do?” He Yufen really felt like she was going crazy. She kicked the brocade stool in front of her, and felt annoyed. She thought that after she entered King Xuan’s Manor, the big picture was settled. Consort Zhao also a.n.a.lyzed the situation of King Xuan’s Manor for her, and she felt that everything was under control. She never thought that she had just entered the manor, but Feng Yuran and Mo Xuetong refused to see her. What should she do?
She was gentle, generous, but her tenderness must be seen by King Xuan. Otherwise, she would only make people feel that she was weak. How could she not feel upset?
“Concubine He, just hold on. Her Highness has expected that things wouldn’t be so smooth. Just wait, she will be in trouble soon. Maybe you will become Consort Xuan in one fell swoop.” Nanny pointed to the direction of the main yard, her eyes glinting.
Consort Zhao had already arranged it?
He Yufen sighed with relief, and her eyes immediately lit up. She held nanny’s hand and anxiously asked, “Does Her Highness have a good way to deal with Mo Xuetong?”
“Of course there are ways, but now we don’t need to take action. Someone will deal with her. You just need to push at the right time.” Nanny patted her chest and a.s.sured. Seeing the nanny’s confident look, He Yufen also smiled.
It seemed that Mo Xuetong would be in trouble within a few days.
Mo Xuetong was indeed ill, but fortunately, she recovered quickly from her sudden illness. Within only one day, she was back to her former self. She refused to see He Yufen because the time was yet to come. Consort Zhao was now in favor with the Emperor, and the He family attached to her. Mo Xuetong could not act recklessly.
Everything about the He family was weird. He Yufen and He Yuxiu were not of the blood of the He family.
Consort Zhao even had something to do with Lian An of the Ministry of Works. Feng Yuran had also told her that He Yuxiu was now raised by Lian An, just like a mistress living outside. It was said that Lian An now always found a variety of reasons to see her, and stayed there for many times. He adored He Yuxiu.
This was just because He Yuxiu had a pair of eyes similar to Consort Zhao’s eyes, or similar to Consort Xian’s eyes, to be precise.
The first time Mo Xuetong met He Yufen and He Yuxiu, she felt that they both looked pretty, and that it was hard to say who was prettier. Why the He family tried to abandon He Yufen, and wanted to send He Yuxiu to King Xuan’s Manor. Maybe it was also because of He Yuxiu’s eyes which were similar to Consort Xian’s. They wanted Feng Yuran to have a good impression on He Yuxiu at first sight.
Mo Xuetong had always had a conjecture. Consort Xian was definitely not the biological daughter of the He family. Maybe she was just like He Yuxiu and He Yufen, who were specifically found by the He family. The He family wished them to marry into good families relying on their pretty appearance and thus bring great benefits to the He family. Then what about Consort Zhao? Was Consort Zhao, who was so similar to Consort Xian, surely the daughter of the He family?
If not, where did the He family find Consort Zhao!
Since Consort Zhao was not their genetic daughter and was sent to the palace together with Consort Xian, why did the He family think Consort Zhao was more useful and reliable than Consort Xian? In this way, Consort Zhao seemed to be the genetic daughter of the He family.
